Yeah that's a toughie. I don't think anybody has a motivation problem with that particular goal. It's just a very, very hard goal. Like getting to Mars. Remember V 1.0 of the idea of America took a bunch of people going on perilous land/sea journeys. V2.0 was a bloody civil war

Yeah, I'm an unrepentant cosmopolitan globalist. "Saving" particular national or identity narratives makes me yawn as a mission.

Well, everybody's family's got to be somewhere :) Tying location to land for wandering ape species is actually an unnatural act requiring political ideological contortions cf Republic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autochthon

I'm sympathetic to this and will explore more. This sounds more idealistic than I'm used to of you though :p

One of my few unironic political positions is anti-territoriality. The idea of "owning" land in a sacred rather than utilitarian way is the root of lots of deep human fucked-upness.

Sorry if I gave impression as blood-and-soil goon -- I'm all about this if we can solve whole "trust" problem.

I have no impression of you beyond recent twitter interactions since you don't seem to have a blog or other extended performance-presence
